Or go to a pub for free 

[HybridFox]

Imagine paying £48 for that 

[Stuntman_Mike]

It's bad enough being involved with the clubs idea of a match day for City games 

 

I'd much sooner just watch it down the pub or at home. Or if I was willing to pay for it I'd pick the Morningside arena over it seeing as they're doing similar.

[Lako42]

They've not even done this for proper a World Cup in the past

[AjcW]

Well that'll be.... cold...

Yes, indoors, in December, sensible  

[AjcW]

"Guys, guys... you know how we've never done a fanzone for a world cup when it's 30 degrees outside?"

 

"Yeah....."

 

"Well I was thinking, we should do one for the winter world cup, might be able to kill off a few of the old ***** moaning about near frequency ticketing at the same time!"

[Stadt]

Wow, a wanky soulless corporate venture with no regard for the spirit of football or fans themselves.

 

The world cup will be shit too.

A local pub landlord was pretty pissed off by this move from the club. Especially when he was sent an email offering him a discounted price to £10 entry.

[Lcfc82]

Surely hardly anyone is going to be interested in this ?

[Lako42]

This gets canned

Those with Kids who don't want to go in a pub or who have never manage to get i the stadium. 

So about 12 people then.

 

I'll watch at home if there's nothing much else on.

 

What's the normal times these games will take place

10am, 1pm, 4pm, 7pm. This farce of a world cup is in a shorter period of time so they need to cram the games in.

 

I'm not excited for this tournament, but Friday 25 November (day after thanksgiving...) features Wales at 10am, Holland at 4pm and then England at 7pm .  Most pubs in the City already seem to be booked out all day, it seems everyone is hosting big events for clients. It's going to be an absolute belter of a day.

[fazzyfox]

Thank goodness they're granting access to the food and beverage facilities within the stadium, until that point I didn't seem to be getting much value for my ticket price.

Started getting my tickets today  on the FIFA App .........ENG V Iran, France V Australia and Belgium V Canada only so far. One think of concern though is they don't actually activate the ticket until the day of the game

 

On the day you mention I got  tickets to Iran V Wales with the family (wife is Iranian) at 1pm here and Eng v USA at 10pm. 

[Daggers]

They could’ve at least tried to include a bit of authenticity for the money like throwing lgbt’s and forriners from executive box windows and executing dissidents in the centre circle.

[SemperEadem]

£15 to sit outside. Thats a really crap idea.

[Corky]

Did 80% leave early as usual?

[purpleronnie]

So essentially £25 for a pint of beer?

[Stuntman_Mike]

 

That looks a terrible night out

[CosbehFox]

Interestingly been not been bombarded with texts and e-mails for the Wales game. Looks like it's mostly done by a third party contractor. 

 

Looks bloody awful either way. 

[Footballwipe]

People really will pay for anything if it has the LCFC name/brand/ground associated with it.

 

£15 to sit in the cold to watch a TV screen and pay £5.80 a pint in a plastic cup and other overpriced food.

 

I mean people are absolutely free to spend their money as they wish but... 

[SemperEadem]

Be a cold one down there tonight.

[marbles]

When USA made it out of group stage 8 years ago, they had things like this all over for the Belgium game.

Cowboy Stadium had several thousand show up.  I believe it was free to get in, but you paid for parking - and of course they probably made a killing off concessions.
